In 2002, the Marvel Cinematic Universe was just a glimmer in Kevin Feige's eye. And Sony entrusted Sam Raimi -- director of the Evil Dead franchise -- with bringing Marvel's most famous and beloved superhero to the big screen. In that way, Spider-Man is very much a testament to its time. On this episode, The Lady-Wan of Screen Run helps us swing right into our next friendly neighborhood mega-series. Over the next few episodes, we'll be digging deep into Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. But this time, it's all about the film that started it all. So hold on tight as we launch into 2002's Spider-Man. Thwip!
